Arie Luyendyk takes the lead from Bobby Rahal on lap 168 and goes on to win in record time. Because the race has been slowed by caution periods only four times---each of them very brief---Luyendyk is able to complete 500 miles in only 2 hours, 41 minutes, 18.404 seconds for an average speed of 185.981 mph. Not only is this a record by a considerable margin, but it will still be solidly standing 15 years later. And it exceeds Ray Harroun%u2019s 1911 time by four hours.
